Shout out my boy justforkicks96 for hooking me up with some jeeby weebies. I'm gonna be looking fresh as fuck smoking doinks all day, getting pot stoned off the stinky brinky skunk skunk. Fuck 12.
Ah hell yea. This was may immediate first thought. I lived out in Alaska for a few months and our favorite pastime was hiking aka “smokin fat doinks in Amish”
There’s rumors circulating that you don’t need electricity for LED grow lights and hydroponic systems, some people have made baseless claims you can just put this shit in the ground and weed grows out. I’m gonna need to see some sources tho
Not just them.. food fraud and such is incredibly common at farmers markets. Its not like there is any real enforcement mechanisms to prevent it from taking place or anything like that either...
Under scrutiny for meth... but $20 says you can still buy "locally produced" honey that comes from some bulk barrel from china, or "organic" carrots that the seller got from the local restaurant supply and came from some regular farm wherever etc.
Actually they can't smoke weed, I used to hang out with an Amish guy named Dave in the midwest when I lived on a farm. Smoking weed was against his religion and he told me the one time he tried it he panicked and ended up praying for the rest of the night. Amish Dave could drink a LOT of fucking whiskey though, he was honestly a helluva guy.
Every single large group of amish has their own separate rules. There really is no singular group of "amish" people with the same set of rules. There are hundreds of groups, each with their own rules. I guarantee that some of them can smoke weed.
There's an exception to everything, but let's not let that impede understanding. On the whole, they don't smoke weed. The Amish folks in this photo likely don't smoke, and just justify selling it to other, less-godly people to raise money for their community.
I honestly couldn't tell you, it's just what I was told. But just like 50-60 years ago a lot of the USA was also very stigmatized against pot while being alcoholics
I saw one riding an electric scooter that looked just like the ones they normally had. Bro was hitting 30mph going up hill without a single foot touching pavement.
They do not participate in systems that require the breaking of the Sabbath so they use generators and buy fuel from a company that doesn't operate on a Sunday.
Go visit an Amish community, You will see power tools and the like
People also just assume shit. Like you mention Indian, Inuit, any group of people and they picture crap out of a text book.
General cutler or whatever his name was literally paid American tribes like a dollar to wear fancy ceremonial garb to take pictures that are still used in history texts.
They destroyed all evidence of American tribal infrastructure and made it seem like they were tent people.
I mean if you’re relying on pictures in text books to paint a picture for you and not the words then that’s your problem. I learned that the natives of the Americas lived very differently based on tribe and regions. Iroquois nation used long houses and remained stationary as food was abundant and it was easy to farm, then you have tribes that used tent like structures because they traveled/ followed their food sources. Don’t blame the U.S. education system just because you require pictures to understand things, the context was in the words not the picture you fool
Every Amish buggy I’ve seen has electric hazard lights on it, I don’t think zero electricity is very common. I know someone who has an Amish landlord who has a giant tractor.
In general, they're against the "English" world. You would hear different reasoning in different areas. Just like any religion, there are many many splinter groups
If people are interested in the history of German-American/anglo-American dynamic head to Wikipedia and look up “fancy Dutch.” The separation of the German/English communities was common up until ww1/ww2 era for obvious reasons. Benjamin Franklin despised that German immigrants wouldn’t assimilate to Anglo culture and wrote some essays against them 😂 Growing up my great grandma said we were Penn deustch and great grandpa was raised Mennonite. Very interesting stuff:
There's many, many variations now. There's some out there in PA where their power tool is a Clydesdale. Others yet showed me their furniture inventory on a mobile app. In 2026 regarding Amish, there is no "they", you need to be specific to the family or branch.
There are different types. Old order, New order, and Beachy Amish. The latter being the ones that drive cars, use electricity etc. New order will use battery powered tools, solar power, and farm equipment. There are also many sub groups. What ever happened to the Amish Mafia Don "Lebanon Levi?"
Some Amish communities will consider it not needed, and thus they won’t use it. That’s just the elders though, and their interpretation of things. Lot’s use it if they generate it themselves or buy it not from the government or like you said, a company that sells on the Sabbath.

Just because they don't use electricity doesn't mean they can't get lit.
